🧞‍♂️NOW AVAILABLE THIS CHRISTMAS🧞‍♂️

Our Baby Elephant and Genie characters are now available to hire for your production this Christmas!

The gorgeous Baby Elephant requires 1 performer to operate and features flapping ears and the ability for a character to sit on this back

The Genie is probably the most spectacular and impressive puppet in our stock. He has blinking eyes, a moving mouth, his head turns and he floats in mid air with no visible means of support! Operated by just a single puppeteer, he'll be an eye-popping addition to any production of Aladdin!

In addition, we also have a huge number of Principal & Ensemble costumes for productions of Aladdin, as well as some set, props and scenery.

Get in touch for more info!

*Please note*
A minimum hire period applies throughout the peak pantomime season in December / January.

💥CANNON ILLUSION💥

Available for hire this year for the first time is our fantastic cannon illusion!

A performer is loaded into the canon on one side of the stage and a fuse is lit. But - oh no! Where's the safety net? As the net appears on the other side of the stage, a target cloth is lifted and, after a countdown and explosion, the performer appears behind the net right across the stage!

Perfect for those Circus-themed productions of Goldilocks, but can be worked into many other titles with a little imagination - the photo is from our production of Jack and the Beanstalk as Jacks' new invention to transport him to Cloudland!

There is a tube for an indoor sparkler to be used on top of the cannon, and a pyro situated downstage of the effect all adds to the illusion!

Available this Christmas and throughout the year - contact us for more info
